Mouse and Keyboard keep Dis- and Reconnecting

[Painface]

I played both the closed and the preorder beta and all was fine, I had a great time.
But ever since release, whenever I am not in a menu, my mouse and keyboard keep randomly disconnecting and randomly reconnecting.

As I said only when Im not in a menu. When I manage to get into a shop, the mission select screen or just the esc menu, all is fine. But as soon as I am able to control my character, my devices are in chaos.
And it gets worse the longer it goes on. If I wait too long, I cant even close the game anymore because my pc wouldnt recognize any inputs anymore,

One time I even thought I got malware from updating (because I didnt download anything else in days) because after I managed to get into a game, shortly after my controls stopped responding again and suddenly windows started opening random apps and showering me in weird error messages. Like dozens at a time. Had to pull the plug on that one.
When the PC lwas turned off then, both keyboard and mouse were still lit for some reason.

And it only happens in this game. As long as I dont start it or play something else, all is perfectly fine. Even after the big incident with all these error messages and apps opening. as soon as I restarted my pc, everything was fine again. No glitches, no input lag. all just normal.

I tried asking around and I havent found anyone else experiencing this.

All my drivers are up to date.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer

Same, M&K randomly disconnecting and re-connecting every few seconds to minutes

Might be a weird question, do you have a wireless mouse?
My friend has the same problems, but as soon as he connected to the bluetooth inside the pc, and not through the wireless thingy that comes with the mouse, it was fine

[Geruhn]

I have the same problem :/

In case it might be relevant:
Mouse: ROG
KB: speedlink
both wired

Same, albeit it's my mouse and any currently connected controllers. My keyboard does not DC.

[burtoonh]

Mine is wired - both M&K are Razer

[Ito]

same here

[Geruhn]

I had two mouses on my PC and the other one worked perfectly, my KB is lagging though

[Dolgren]

Same with razer mouse and keyboard.

[Geruhn]

I fixed my problems, I got rid of the second mouse
and KB+mouse are now on a direct USB slot instead of a USB hub

I don't experience this with Darktide but I definitely have a dead or dying keyboard every single time I press a key while playing Modern Warfare 2 2022. Wonder why this happens. Makes the games almost unplayable.

Could you try my solution?

I had the same problem. Your fix worked for me.

I am experiencing this. My keyboard is stuttering and flickering on and off. It was initially playable earlier but the controls were extremely sluggish. I tried updating my keyboard drivers and now it is even worse and i am stuck running in a random direction while the keyboard flickers off and on. the fact that I am able to type this alone without one of the letters getting stuck (e.g withoooooooouuuuut tttttthhhhhhh eeee leettt ...you get the idea) proves that my keyboard is working perfectly fine.
how to fix

[Xarovin]

Razer Deathadder v2 Pro here - it disconnects if the 2.4GHz dongle is plugged into the front of my case, fixed it by moving it to the motherboard USB slots

I have this same issue ever since the game went full release, it was fine beforehand
